Sebastian Vettel says he is happy with the performance of his Ferrari which saw him top second practice at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Ferrari brought a raft of upgrades to the last race in Canada thus are looking to close the gap to leaders Mercedes. The Italian team look to be more competitive at the Red Bull Ring and are confident of challenging the Mercedes duo.
Vettel’s running was compromised as he suffered gearbox problems in both practice sessions.
“Unfortunately there are days like this, and today these things came together to stop us from some quite important running,” Vettel told AUTOSPORT.
“I’m not really worried. Sometimes that happens.
“We know that we have a good car, and that it works well around here.
“I didn’t get many laps today, but the car felt good and competitive.
“Hopefully we can stay with Mercedes as much as possible and then it will be an interesting qualifying.”
